Zhang Yi: Doing One Thing in a Lifetime

(Creative Director and Executive Officer of Liuligongfang)

A person who is willing to do one thing in his whole life, his work is his life.

In an exhibition organized by the so-called Japan Crafts Promotion Association, the works of more than 800 craftsmen were presented in one place: ceramics, lacquer, weaving, goldsmithing, maki-e, cloisonné, glass? What surprised me was not the number of craftsmen or the number of works, but the length of time each craftsman had been working, which was generally more than 30 years.

It must be wonderful to be immersed in a work for a long time.

Looking back at the lacquerer's work, I suddenly began to feel inferior. Because, what he did, was just a plate. Is there anyone in our lives who creates every day for a plate? Why not? Because a plate doesn't make someone an artist?

Listening to a lacquerware artist, I heard that people who make lacquerware don't have fingerprints because they often use their hands to polish the lacquerware. What do you need fingerprints for? Their works are the fingerprints of human civilization. When I think about it, I feel that behind the mellow lacquerware, there is a soul that makes people stir. And when a shiny black lacquerware plate like that holds three yellow oranges, it is a rare and beautiful impression on earth.
